The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

As the card flashed with light, a dragon-man wearing red armor was projected onto the screen.

[Guardian Hill: Attack Power 1700]

[Rafiru's hand cards: 3→1]

"Then, the effect of [Support Guardian] will transfer [Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame] to [Guardian Hill]."

The bow instantly transferred to Hill's hands.

[Backup Guardian: Attack Power 0 → 500]

[Guardian Hill: Attack Power 1700 → 700]

"It's not over yet. [Guardian Hill]'s special ability is activated."

Send 1 of your Equip Cards equipped to this card to the Graveyard, and destroy 1 monster your opponent controls.

[Guardian Hill: Attack Power 700 → 1700]

Hill nocked an arrow and then drew the bowstring.

At that moment, Rafael pointed at the pink Kuriboh ball and said, "What I'm going to destroy is the [Kuriboh Ball]."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hill immediately aimed at the chestnut ball.

"Kuri Kuri!"

Chestnut Group was immediately startled.

Soon, Hill released the bowstring, and a flaming meteor arrow flew out.

boom--!

The chestnut ball was instantly pierced.

"【Chestnut Balls】......"

"In that case, I'll open the cover card..."

As he spoke, the game player tapped the card at his feet.

"Activate the Trap Card [Bitter Medal]".

You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 monster you control. Select and Tribute 1 monster from your Deck or Graveyard and add it to your hand if it has the same Type, Attribute, and Level as its original card.

He pointed to the green chestnut ball and said, "I offer up the [Chestnut Bead] and add the [Chestnut Ball] from the graveyard to my hand."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the effect of [Kuriboku Madoka] again, discarding a Trap Card in exchange for reducing the attack power of [Guardian Hill]."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

After saying that, Chestnut Circle summoned the white star again and hit Hill with it.

[Guardian Hill: Attack Power 1700 → 200]

This attack power is just at a delicate value where it can't beat Kuriboh, so Rafael's only monster that can attack is Grall.

Of course, Rafael didn't care and launched an attack directly, "Then let's go! [Guardian Grall] Attack [Kuriko Madoka], Decisive Slash!"

Grall immediately rushed over and swung his giant axe at Chestnut Round.

At the last second, Yugi quickly put the card into the graveyard, saying, "Discard [Kuriboh] from your hand as a price to negate the damage from this battle!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→1]

boom--!

Then the chestnut ball was cut open.

Chapter 104

Seeing that Yugi remained unharmed after the Oogami Madoka was destroyed, Rafael exclaimed, "What an impenetrable defense..."

The purpose of the game is not just simple defense.

At this moment, he pointed at Kurikomaru and said, "At this instant, another ability of Kurikomaru is activated."

This effect can be activated when this card or one of your Kuriboh monsters is destroyed by battle. Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck other than Kuriboh with 300 ATK and 200 DEF.

"Come forth, [Revived Chestnut Ball]!"

A white, fuzzy chestnut ball wearing a veil then appeared.

【Revived Kuriboh: Defense 200】

"And the number of Kuriboh monsters increases by one, and the attack power of Babylonian Kuriboh increases by another 300 points."

Babylonian Chestnut: Attack power 3000 → 3300

"Hmm, its attack power has surpassed [Guardian Grall] again!?"

The situation reversed again, but Rafiru didn't care and inserted his last card into the Duel Disk.

"Then I will activate the spell card [Light of the Sword]."

[Rafiru's hand cards: 1→0]

Ding--!

At that moment, several lightsabers were planted around the game and his monster.

"This will lock down your attacks for the next three rounds. My turn is over."

"And at the end of the phase, [Guardian Hill]'s attack power returns to normal."

[Guardian Hill: Attack Power 200 → 1700]

Looking at the lightsabers surrounding him, Yuqi frowned slightly.

"As expected, it's a defensive deck, even more troublesome than I imagined, AIBO."

The game nodded in agreement with Wang Yang's words.

Then he drew out a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→2]

After glancing at the card, Yugi inserted it into the Duel Disk without hesitation, saying, "Set one card face down, end turn."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards 2→1]

Since there's no way to attack, the game can only proceed by setting the card face down.

"My turn!"

[Rafiru's hand cards: 0→2]

Rafael glanced at his hand and inserted one of the cards into his Duel Disk. "I activate the Equip Spell [Guardian's Power] and equip this card to [Guardian Grall]."

[Rafiru's hand cards: 2→1]

Then, Glar was protected by colorful light.

"[Guardian's Power]..."

Upon seeing this card, Yugi knew that his monsters were doomed.

At that moment, Rafael waved his hand and shouted, "Go! [Guardian Grall] attack [Babylonian Chestnut], and at this instant, the effect of [Guardian's Power] activates."

This effect activates when an equipped monster declares an attack. Place 1 Spell Counter on this card.

[Guardian's Power: Magic Indicator 0→1]

"Furthermore, for each magic counter of [Guardian Power], the equipped monster's attack power increases by 500 points."

[Guardian Grall: Attack Power 3000 → 3500]

Now it's finally Grail's attack power that surpasses Babylonian Chestnut's.

So Grall charged straight over and swung his giant axe, which was glowing with iridescent light.

boom--!

The Babylonian chestnut was instantly chopped into pieces.

"Well......"

The game finally took a hit from the opponent.

【Muto Games: LP4000→3800】

Although the physical damage was not significant, it was still a substantial blow to one's mental state.

"Next, [Guardian Hill] will attack [Kuriko-maru]!"

As soon as Rafael finished speaking, Hill, now without the Meteor Bow, opened her mouth and spewed out a ball of fire.

boom--!

The chestnut ball shattered in the flames.

"Ughh ...

"AIBO!"

【Muto Games: LP3800→2400】

This time, the game took a lot of damage, and lost almost half of its health.

Then he collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted.

Wang Yang asked with a concerned look, "Are you alright, AIBO?"

"It's nothing, it just hurts a little."

The game struggled to its feet again.

“Well done, Yugi Muto. I would have been very disappointed if you hadn’t stood up.”

Rafiru's lips curled up slightly.

"Sorry, I don't intend to lose to you here..."

With that, Yugi took down his deck and said, "Since [Kuriko-maru] was destroyed in battle, I will use its effect once again to Special Summon a monster with 300 ATK and 200 DEF from my deck."

"Is it another Kuriboh monster?"

Rafiru felt the game was getting a bit tough.

"No, this time is different."

The game places the retrieved card onto the Duel Disk and continues, "I Special Summon 'Soul-Slaying Necromancer' from my Deck."

After a flash of light on the card, a necromancer wearing a purple robe and carrying a large scythe appeared before the game.

[Soul-Slaying Necromancer: Defense 200]

"What?! It's actually the [Soul-Slaying Necromancer]?!"

Rafiru was taken aback.

"That's right, the attack and defense of [Soul-Slaying Necromancer] correspond exactly to the effect of [Kuriko-maru], and it can be Special Summoned by that effect."

Hearing what Yugi said, Rafael's expression gradually became serious, and he said, "You're really something, Yugi Muto."

"The Soul-Slaying Necromancer cannot be destroyed in battle. With it around, I cannot do any harm to you."

It's a pity he didn't have any equipment cards, otherwise he could have let Hill activate its effect and destroy it.

"Then my turn is over."

There was no other way; he had to end this round first.

"Phew, it's my turn again."

After exhaling, the player drew a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"
